NGC PF Complete Silver and Clad 2011
2011-S 25C CLAD OLYMPIC

Owner Comments:

The 2011 Olympic National Park Quarter was the eighth release of the new quarter series featuring National Parks and sites of the United States. The order of release is determined based on the date each location was first federally designated.

The quarters were first released on June 13, 2011, when the coins were made available through the channels of circulation and offered by the United States Mint within numismatic bags and rolls. The Olympic National Park Quarter marked the lowest mintage for a release of the series to date with 61 million produced across the Philadelphia and Denver facilities.

The reverse design for the quarter carries a depiction of a Roosevelt Elk stepping into the Hoh River with Mount Olympus in the background. Other design candidates featured broad landscapes without the elk present and a sea scape scene. Both the Commission of Fine Arts and Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee preferred the design incorporating the animal life, and the Treasury Secretary followed these recommendations with his official selection. The revere was Barbara Fox and sculpted by Charles Vickers.

In addition to the quarter dollars issued for circulation and coin collectors, a 5 ounce silver bullion coin bearing the same design was available for precious metals investors.
